Excuse us while we weep over the fact that the firstborn of GENERAL HOSPITAL’s Steve Burton (Jason) is officially an adult! We remember way back when the GH star and his wife, Sheree, welcomed their daughter, Makena Grace, into the world! And now, that sweet little baby is a beautiful young woman!

“Happy 18 to my awesome daughter, Makena,” the actor wrote to his daughter in a birthday post he shared on Instagram. “So crazy to watch 18 years. So proud of the incredible young woman she has become and is becoming. Super talented and beautiful, inside and out. So grateful to be her dad.”

Burton, who also played THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS’ Dylan, and his wife are also the parents of Jack, 15, and Brooklyn, 7, and Makena is every bit the doting big sister based on the photos her parents have shared on their social media over the years.

Scroll through the gallery below to see just how much Makena has grown over the years!
